Server Independent Deployment of Plug-Ins

1. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer readable storage medium to tangibly store instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to: receive a request to generate a graphical user interface including one or more plugs-ins at a client computing device, the request comprising a configuration for flash content of the graphical user interface; identify the one or more plug-ins based on one or more plug-in manifests associated with the one or more plug-ins, the one or more plug-ins deployed at a plurality of content servers of a plurality of platform types and stored in a plug-in repository; identify at least one extension point provided by a first plug-in from the identified one or more plug-ins, wherein the at least one extension point provides extension of the functions offered by the first plug-in; determine at least one second plug-in suitable for the identified at least one extension point of the first plug-in; based on one or more extension points of the identified one or more plug-ins and a function described in the one or more plug-in manifests, retrieve the identified one or more plug-ins and the at least one second plug-in from a plug-in repository to the client computing device; and link the first plug-in and the at least one second plug-in to generate the requested graphical user interface.

2. The article of manufacture in claim 1 , wherein retrieving the identified one or more plug-ins and the at least one second plug-in comprises retrieving the plug-ins according to plug-in identifiers.

3. The article of manufacture in claim 1 , wherein generating the requested graphical user interface comprises generating the user interface at flash run time.

4. The article of manufacture in claim 1 , wherein generating the requested graphical user interface comprises generating the graphical user interface based on a flash content from the retrieved one or more plug-ins and the at least one second plug-in.

5. A computer system for generating a graphical user interface by using a one or more deployed plug-ins, the computer system comprising: a processor; a client computing device to receive a user request to generate the graphical user interface including one or more plugs-ins, the user request comprising a configuration for flash content of the graphical user interface; a memory in association with the processor storing instructions related to: a plug-in manager to: deploy the one or more plug-ins from the one or more content servers, identify the one or more plug-ins based on one or more plug-in manifests associated with the one or more plug-ins; and based on the one or more identified plug-ins and a function described in the one or more plug-in manifests, retrieve the deployed plug-ins; and a plug-in registry to register the deployed one or more plug-ins; a plug-in repository to store the deployed one or more plug-ins according to plug-in identifiers; a graphical user interface generator to generate the requested graphical user interface by retrieving one or more plug-ins; and a user interface to present the generated graphical user interface.

6. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the plug-in registry comprises a function associated with a plug-in from the one or more plug-ins.

7. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the graphical user interface generator generates the graphical user interface based on a combination of the one or more plug-ins.

8. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the user interface is generated at a flash run time.

9. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the graphical user interface generator generates the graphical user interface based on a flash content from the retrieved one or more plug-ins.

10. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein a content server in the one or more content servers comprises a just in time configuration creator.

11. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein a content server in the one or more content servers comprises an application resource handler.

12. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein a content server in the one or more content servers comprises a scope management module.

13. A computerized method for generating graphical user interface by using one or more deployed plug-ins, the computerized method comprising: receiving a request to generate a graphical user interface including one or more plugs-ins at a client computing device, the request comprising a configuration for flash content of the graphical user interface; identifying one or more plug-ins based on one or more plug-in manifests associated with the one or more plug-ins, the one or more plug-ins been deployed at a plurality of content servers of a plurality of platform types and stored in a plug-in repository; identifying at least one extension point provided by a first plug-in from the identified one or more plug-ins, wherein the at least one extension point provides extension of the functions offered by the first plug-in; determining at least one second plug-in suitable for the identified at least one extension point of the first plug-in; based on one or more extension points of the identified one or more plug-ins and a function described in the one or more plug-in manifests, retrieving the identified one or more plug-ins and the at least one second plug-in from a plug-in repository to the client computing device; and linking the first plug-in and the at least one second plug-in to generate the requested graphical user interface.

14. The computerized method of claim 13 , wherein retrieving the identified one or more plug-ins and the at least one second plug-in comprises retrieving the plug-ins according to plug-in identifiers.

15. The computerized method of claim 13 , wherein the graphical user interface is generated at a flash run time.

16. The computerized method of claim 13 , wherein generating the requested graphical user interface comprises generating the graphical user interface based on a flash content from the retrieved one or more plug-ins and the at least one second plug-in.
